Verse 3.97.10

मन एव विचारेण मन्ये विलयमेष्यति ।
मनोविलयमात्रेण ततः श्रेयो भविष्यति ॥ १० ॥

mana eva vicāreṇa manye vilayameṣyati |
manovilayamātreṇa tataḥ śreyo bhaviṣyati || 10 ||

The mind is found by right reasoning to be a perishable object, and no sooner doth it perish, than the living soul succeeds to obtain its final liberation. For the desires of the mind are the bondage of its transmigration, but the dissolution of the mind with its desires, secures its liberation.
